Hello,
I have setup a centos server running 5.5 and I have a problem with the FTP settings.
Currently I have two FTP accounts based on that server, they lead to:
/home/bella /home/carmen
Currently the FPT accounts starts in the home directory when they are logged in. But they are able to see all directories on the server. What can I do to make sure they cant come out of there home directory?

It depends on the FTP server software you use. If you are using VSFTP, then you want to add or uncomment the following line in /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf chroot_local_user=YES Save the changes. Restart VSFTPD. This will jail the user to their home directory. Taken from: http://centoshacker.com/kabir/remove-access/creating-a-chroot-jail-enabled-f...
If you use ProFTPD (which is what I use), then follow this guide: http://www.proftpd.org/docs/howto/Chroot.html
